Russell uses the phrase "A Clockwork Universe". Museums have intricate and beautiful models of clockwork machines made by inspired inventors and sages that mimic planetary motions (TIME). An ordinary clock made with wheels and gears of varying sizes are models of the mechanical-like essence of nature's rhythms and periodicities. While the elemental building block of nature is Light this Light accumulates and dissipates according to periodicity. The accumulation is in orderly discrete quantities and these quantities then bear orders of ratio and hence proportion one to another. Their subsequent motions likewise bear orderly ratio and proportion. Light = Mind = Knowledge Light is the substance of Mind. Knowledge is the awareness of ratio and proportion. Intelligence is the ability to decipher and reorder Light of/in Mind according to desire/idea. Ratios, proportions, cycles and periodicities relate one to another in arithmetical and geometrical constructs and are very knowable. Music is an example of this method of construction. But just a model within its own context. In engineering terms we say these ratios and proportions are always the same ratios and proportions - all linked together as the gears and wheels of the clockwork structure of nature. Hence we say these variables are "locked potentials" and are "parametric" one to the others. This means that changing any one term of the ratio or proportion changes them all IN FIX RATIO AND PROPORTIONATE quantities or rates of change. All things are connected and this connection is ratioed and proportionate rates of change. The ratioes and proportions are unchanging. However the quantity or quality of their effects or motions are changeable. This is a well known phenomena in music. Change the key signature and the notes change to that key since all notes of a key are LOCKED into a set of ratios and proportions definable by arithmetic of fractions. This is why Keely used music notation in his beautiful charts. Because music notation is a formalized system of locked ratios and proportions - operating independent of quantities and/or effects. Therefore music notation, as he used it, was THE LAW that governs. The notes represent the notes (relative quantities) of Light of Mind in their ceaseless activity to BE. |
